SIMMONS Seniors S e n i o rs Seniors Seniors Seniors Senio rs Seniors Senid Senior Class SIXTY-SEVEN eager new faces adorned the halls of BHS that day in early September of 1944. They were to become the Senior Class of ’48 and leave a memorable im- pression on that institution of higher learning. As sponsors to guide them through that first strange year they chose Mr. Mercer and Mrs. Miles. From among their own classmates came leaders of another sort: Allen Capper as President, Charma Clift as Vice President, Patricia Kastler as Secretary, Edgar Lassen as Treasurer, and Eleanor Ostwald as Student Representative. They were not looking so eager on initiation day as they knelt before the Seniors, the girls in gunny sacks and rubbers, the boys in turkish towels and sweaters, and shouted, “O, Highly Honored Seniors.” However, the kind Sen- iors made them feel somewhat better by treating them to a watermelon feast at the end of the day. Their traditionally green and white float took third prize and all in all they spent a most interesting year. Sixty of those freshmen came back to the old halls as sophomores that next year. Class officers included: President, Raymond Meininger; Vice-President, Leland Chris- tensen; Secretary, Pat McCarty; Treasurer, Evan Copley; Student Representative, Charma Clift; Sponsors, Mr. Schweers and Mrs. Wilkerson. Their Homecoming float won first prize that year as they welcomed servicemen alumni home from World War II. This original class held the traditional hayride in the spring instead of fall, and spring also found them decorating for the Senior’s Baccalaureate and Commencement. As for all Juniors, the next year was a busy, happy one. Forty-nine classmates chose their officers, with Lloyd Lorensen at their head, Vice-President was Dale Stinton; Secretary, Patricia Kastler; Treasurer, Barbara Lewis; Student Representative, Evan Cop- ley. Mr. Richards and Mrs. Wilkerson were Sponsors. Their Homecoming Float again took first prize as did their interclass play. During the fall they sold hot-dogs, pop and cof- fee at the football games in an endeavor to raise much needed money. They presented a three-act mysteiy drama entited, “The Green Light,” which was a great success, as was the Prom and Banquet which they held in honor of the Seniors. This annual May event was held at the Carroll Hotel and in Central Gym, with Eloise Starr acting chairman, while they wished the Seniors, “Aloha.” And now we come to the fateful year of all high school students. Forty-eight digni- fied Seniors started this year off with a bang as they heard “O, Highly Honored Seniors” shouted to them. They set a record yet to be beaten by bringing down first prize for the third time on their Homecoming Float. The ever beautiful “Nativity” with Marjorie Sau- erbreit as Mary and Dale Stinton as Joseph brightened their Christmas season. They chose Pat McCarty and Eloise Starr to be co-editors of this annual. A carnation is their class flower, blue and silver their colors and “A Winner Never Quits; A Quitter Never Wins,” is their motto. As Seniors they were honored on many occasions among them the Junior- Senior Prom and Banquet. A very happy year sped by until at last they said “So Long” to old Brush High with its memories, both happy and sad, and a heartfelt “’Ilianks” to facul- ty .and parents for helping them to become Senior s Senior Class Officers PR ESI DENT DALE STINTON Student Council 3 4; Class Officer 3 4; President 4; Junior Honor Society 1 2 3 4; Senior Honor Society 3 4; President 4; Clicket Club 4; Annual Staff; Interclass Play; Junior Class Play 3; Nativity; Spanish Club 3 4; Junior Escort; Band 1 2 3 4; Orchestra 1 2 3 4; Choir 3; Fire Squad 3 4; Football 1 2 3 4; Basketball 1 2 3 4, Cap- tain 4; Track 12 3; B Club 2 3 4; Athletic Honor Society 2 3 4.

As Freshman they elected the following officers to guide them through the year: President, Harold Stitt; Vice-President, Virginia Lewis; Secretary, Joyce Christensen; Treasurer, Jim Lorensen; and Student Representative, Jim Allingham. Sponsors were Miss John- son and Mr. Mercer. The highlight for that year was the presentation of “Junior Buys a Car,” in the interclass play contest. They began their Sophomore year with the election of officers, choosing Paul McDill, President; Jim Lorensen, Vice-President; Neil McLagan, Secretary; Bud Luethi, Treasurer; and Cecil Lusby, Student Representative. Their Sponsors were Mr. Schweers and Mr. Lindberg. Their outstanding accomplishments of the year were the decor- ation for Baccalaureate and Commencement and the winning of first place in the interclass play contest with the hilarious comedy, “Angela’s Surprise.” During their Junior year they sold hot dogs at the football games, magazine subscriptions, and presented the play, “Running Wild,” to raise money for their Prom and Banquet. The Prom and Banquet was given the 29th of April and the theme was “Rainbow’s End.’ Junior Sponsors Miss Klemme and Mi.

Sophomore Class History Raring to go, the class of 1950 bounded through the halls of BHS to be welcomed by a rousing initiation. It was corralled by Miss Klemme and Mr. Seguine and ably directed by Bud Sorensen, President; Harry Tate, Vice-President; Bruce McLagan, Secretary; Donna Starr, Treasurer; and Robert Miller, Student Representative. It entered a float in th. Homecoming parade, presented an inter- class play, “The Life of The Party,” and gave Sadie Hawkins dance. This year the class of 1950 returned to BHS with renewed con- fidence and vigor! It now had the assistance of Miss Funk and Mr. Orr and was under the direction of Jon Katzenback, President; Rob- ert Miller, Vice-President; Ronny Rieb, Secretary; Dale Walker, treasurer; and Bud Sorensen, Student Representative. It won a second place in the Homecoming float and presented a prize win- ning interclass play. Highlights of the year were the traditional Sophomore hayride, a Christmas dance, and decoration for Bacca- laureate and Commencement.

The class of 1951 entered BHS in September, 1917, as one of the largest classes, with an enrollment of eighty. The usual initiation was held on the eleventh of September, when the girls woi’e gunny sacks and boys wore skirts and midriffs. They had to learn the path the seniors learned when they were freshmen. Class officers were chosen in the fall of the year as fol- lows: President, Leroy Needens; Vice-President, Charles Hoff; Secretary, Georgia Wetzbarger; Treasurer, Neva Owens; and Student Council Representative, Bob Scott. The freshmen class play, given November 25 was in the form of a radio program in which every freshmen had a part and acted it very well. freshman Boys BACK ROW—E. Montoya, W. Tomky, L. Needens, P.

The band made some important improvements—the new gold trousers which now complete the uniform, and two new Sousaphones, making the back row shine. The band marched during the half at all the home football games. The annual band day con- test whicn was held October 13, at Boulder, was attended. This marks the first time that the Brush band has entered. The conference bands held a festival at Fort Morgan March 2 as a tune-up for the District State Music Festival. This festival was held in Boulder, April 12 and 13, at which time the band won its usual high honors. Marching Band “ft” formation Zwirlers LEFT TO RIGHT—R. Nygaard, D. Reichert, J. Walker, J.

The Student Council of Brush High School is a democratic institution set up with service to the school as an ideal. The members are, besides the officers, representatives of every or- ganized class and group in the school. The council sponsored, with the help of the faculty, the pub- lication of the Brush High School Handbook, directed the school in campaigns, such as the Red Cross Drive and the March of Dimes, sponsored various forms of recreation, and engaged in many other activities under the leadership of Pat McCarty, pres- ident, and Mr. Simmons and Mr. Schweers, who were the spon- sors.

The paper has been put out on every stated publication date, which is every two weeks. With the help of the advisor and advertisng purchases, the class has been able to come out ahead on their financial problems. This year they will have money left over to carry on into next year. Three of the finer doings of the Journalism class this year were the receiving of the Quill and Scroll charter for the Journalism group as a whole, and accomplishment of five individual memberships. Attendance at the Boulder Journalism conference was an out- standing event for the group.

Officers are elected and the mem- bers are assigned to their posts, with their duties fully explained to them. Fire drills are usually called twice a month to enable the students to know what to do in case of fire. These drills are sometimes taken too lightly by the students who don’t realize that clearing the building could avert the loss of life. The Fire Squad greatly appreciates the co-operation of the student body and faculty.

The F.H.A. is a group of girls who are taking one or more years of Home Econom- ics. The organization is not only a state but a nation wide organization. The Future Homemakers of America club has many different projects to complete during the year. The emblem is octagonal in shape with the name of the organization and the motto. On the inside is a house upheld by a pair of hands, symbolizing future homemakers. The symbols are: Key, Scroll, Torch, and Rose. These are used to denote the four different degrees. The colors are Red and White; these symbolize youth. The flower is the Red Rose, symbolic of vibrant, glowing health of youth. The motto is “Toward New Horizons.’’ This expresses looking forward to future life as they look forward to tomorrow. _ . {.

This year the Future Farmers of America have been improv- ing rapidy over their work of the year 1946-47, the year the F.F.A. was reorganized. This year the officers leading the organization were highly capable and understood their many tasks. Last summer the F.F.A. carried out a summer trip, which proved successful and was repeated again this year. The Brush Chapter took, along with Fort Collins, top honors at the state judging meet, and was the only school represented that came home with two banners, both rated superior. One of these was for poultry and the other for crops. This organization is to teach its members to practice brother- hood, honor rural opportunities and responsibilities, and develop those qualities of leadership which a future farmer should possess. 3. 3.

The purpose of the “B” club is to create unity and friendship among the lettermen, to create more interest in athletics, and in everyway further the athletic program in Brush High School. In furthering the athletic program last year, the “B” club gave $30 for the purpose of buying towels to be used by the athletic teams. This year the “B” club is working to buy a basketball timer and scoreboard for the gymnasium. Club Officers Senior Pep Club Hark H oh—I. Palixt, I). Musce, l . Wain bolt, S. Weoker, .1. Funk, II.

ALECK LEBSOCK Trustee The students, faculty, and administra ion wish to express gratitude to the school beard for unselfish contribution of time and effort for the betterment of education in this school district. Most students do not realize how many long hours are spent by the members of the school board after they have already spent many hours in their particular vocations. The Colorado School Law states that “said directors shall have control of instruc- tion in their respective districts.” The powers of the board include: Employment and dis- charging of teachers and school laborers; fixing and ordering payment of wages; determin- ation of tuition for non-resident pupils; to enforce the rules and regulations of the state superintendent; to fix the course of study, the exercises and the text books used; to pro- vide for school furniture and all school equipment; to suspend or expel pupils who fail to obey rules; to determine the number of teachers employed; to exclude immoral or per- nicious publications; and to make an annual report. These are some of the duties of the school board. Their efforts should be more ap- preciated. Sports Sports Sports Sports Sports Sports Sports ...FOOTBALL...

It was a long, hard road for the Beetdiggers and was a fitting re- ward for a spunky team that had known disaster as Bob Roe, senior tackle, was fatally injured in the opening game with the Greeley Wildcats. Brighton, newcomer from the Platte Valley League proved to be a tough opponent for the Beet- diggers. The Beetdiggers walloped Brighton 27-0 in the conference playoff and won the right to meet Wray of the Eastern League, in State Class A Quarter Finals. The Beetdiggers won from Wray 27-7 which made them eligible to meet La Junta in the Semi Finals. It was here they met an unwanted defeat as they fell to the powerful La Junta Tigers 9-7. We feel very proud of this year’s squad as La Junta went on to win the state championship from Alamosa by an overwhelming score of 26-0.

They rolled through their regular 15 game schedule without a defeat but fell victim to Manuel in the first round of the state play-offs and later fell to Boulder in the consolation division. Manuel won the state championship and Boulder won the consolation championship which shows the Beetdiggers were right up there with the best. At the end of the season the squad voted Lloyd Lorensen most valuable player and Dale Stinton honorary captain.

Fifty-seven hopefuls have checked out track suits this year in the hopes to boost Brush to a conference title in track as they have achieved in football and basketball. The track team is sparked this year by nine returning lettermen from last year’s squad. They are Howard Dean and George Hall in the sprints, Arthur Sullivan in the hurdles, Emerson Talbott in the mile run, Lloyd Lorensen and Wayne Small in the middle distance events, Bob Sharritt in the pole vault, Henry Kissler in the weights, and Neil McLagan in the high jump. These are the boys who will form the nucleus of the squad and who assisted by many newcomers will be strong contenders for the track championship.
